“Surely the flowers of a hundred spring are simply the souls of beautiful things!”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Watchman and Other Poems

“A work of art is useless as a flower is useless. A flower blossoms for its own joy. We gain a moment of joy by looking at it. That is all that is to be said about our relations to flowers. Of course man may sell the flower, and so make it useful to him, but this has nothing to do with the flower. It is not part of its essence.”
― Oscar Wilde

“A flower blossoms for its own joy.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Look, hasn't my body already felt like the body of a flower?”
― Mary Oliver
